Product Highlights

Ideal for ounce-counting hikers, backpackers or trail-runners, Black Diamond Distance trekking poles offer streamlined performance. Innovative Z-Pole construction enables Distance poles to collapse down small and weigh far less than standard aluminum trekking poles.

The Black Diamond Z-Pole Rapid Deployment System consists of a concealed inner cord, a single push-button release and a one-pull deployment. Borrowed from Black Diamond's tested avalanche probes, a Kevlar center cord provides surprising strength and stability. Similar to tent poles, the sections snap securely into place without the need for external or internal locking mechanisms. The result is weight savings and increased collapsibility that enables them to take up far less packed space than traditional poles.

NOTE: Though collapsible, Distance poles are only available in fixed lengths (available in 120 cm or 130 cm lengths) and do not provide an adjustability range.

Non-slip foam grips maintain the minimalist profile while serving as secure hand holds. A short extension to the grip provides a place to choke up on sidehill traverses and compact straps help to relieve stress on the wrists.

Two set of tips are included. Carbide tips deliver solid traction for hard surfaces or ice. Non-marking rubber tips can be used to prevent trail damage and provide grip and durability. An included storage bags protects your poles and includes an integrated pocket to house whichever set of tips you aren't using.

Black Diamond Distance poles are sold in pairs.

Sizes available: 100cm, 110cm, 120cm, 130cm

    Likes: The best thing about this pair of poles I think is the ability to shrink its size when not in use. This is extremely convenient when you are traveling across the country. Besides, they are sturdy, light-weight and elegant-looking.

    Dislikes: You need to make sure the length fits your size comfortably. I went to REI to try it out before purchasing it.
